Networks Censor Justice Department Ending Probe Into IRS Scandal

ABC, CBS, and NBC's evening newscasts on Friday all failed to cover the Justice Department announcing that it would be ending its investigation into the IRS's targeting of conservative groups. The Big Three networks' news program did find time to air reporting on the top Google searches for Halloween costumes, the fewer number of turkeys available for upcoming Thanksgiving dinners, and the controversy over the first bear hunt in Florida in 20 years.

By contrast, PBS NewsHour did air a 20-second news brief on the DOJ closing its probe into the scandal [video below]:

I don't think your typical low-info voter has even heard a thing about this act of tyranny by the IRS when the investigation started a few years ago.

Wouldn't want to pique the sheeple's interest now by mentioning it.

Some old FReeper coined the term "Enemedia".

That perfectly describes ABCBNCCBSPBSCNNMSLSDNYTLAT.

Anti-American traitors, all of them!

[NormsRevenge]

Priorities yaknow.

[Bullish]

Exactly the kind of non-reporting we’ve come to expect from the yellow journalists of the MSM.

Yes, it describes them perfectly and though I'm not certain that FReeper may well have been Just A Nobody. I miss her posting here.

I don’t blame a criminal enterprise for doing what criminals do. I blame the GOP that is supposed to stop the criminal enterprise, not joining up with them.

But I suppose thats what one gets for electing lesser evil no matter what. People should think more about that next election before they stupidly do it again.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Yeah but if an evil Republican wins the WH and sneezes, it’ll be breaking news and calls for impeachment.

[CivilWarBrewing]

As instructed by the editor-in-chief in the WH.

[CivilWarBrewing]

The GOP supported the IRS’s attack on the Tea Party, 100%.

[Norm Lenhart]

EeeeeeYUP!

Nothing changes. We learn nothing form history. The average German didn’t know about Jews being sent off to the ovens. Horrors are commited by government only with the willing negligence of the press.

I'm all but positive that was our Dear FReeper FRiend "Just A Nobody".

Am I right, Jaz?

[Bellflower]

Whatever they do that is highly illegal it is merely a mistake. One of the Republicans can do something that really is an unintentional mistake painted up as a monster go to prison.

Law has become a complete mockery that doesn’t apply to them. I don’t how we can put up with this much longer.

[PROCON]

This same media should be the first “volunteers” for your “Existential Cage Theory” solution!

[jazusamo]

I’m almost certain it was, Smooth.

"When the law no longer protects you from the corrupt,
but protects the corrupt from you -
you know your nation is doomed."
-Ayn Rand

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
President Ronald Reagan

it doesn’t stand top reason that they would censor it- because with the left, one person lies, and another person swears to the lie=- it seems they would be reporting this over and over and over again and throwing it I n the faces of the right

Ihr sollt es wissen.

I found the source of enemedia! :

From Just A Nobody's home page:

******************************************************************************** The term "ENEMEDIA" was born on FreeRepublic.com
on October 31, 2005 during a brainstorming session with fellow FReepers.

As a former Journo I agree they should be cage-bound. I’d put them third on the list.

1: The enemy within - liberals infiltrating the right (lesser evil voters)

2: Republicans that knife America’s back

3: Media

4: Democrats

My reasoning is simple. All of this madness came about because Republicans refuse to fight back against the Democrats and media, who they share an agenda with. Those people would not be in power to work with Democrats if they were not elected. If the Dems did not have GOP complicity, they could not do what they do and their agenda would be stopped cold.

Each and every step of the way comes down to the fact that the GOP voters who utterly abandoned their party platform, their country’s constitution and the moral guidance of the Bible to elect ‘evil’ in it’s so called ‘lesser’ form, are at the core of the problem.

We fail at fixing the problem because we search for solutions to the wrong problem. Classic category error.

Good job, you nailed it down!
